Summary : Nice but not durable
I was initially very pleased with this case. Holds my iPad securely and allows me to stand it on a table. Unfortunately it fell apart after only two months of fairly light use. Now I have to spend more money for a replacement. Seems like a good value but is not one if you have to replace it every two months.

Summary : Good case and easel for iPad
I was not happy with the Apple brand iPad cover--too flimsy and too expensive. I had seen the Acase at a meeting with a vendor, and liked the ability to have different angles to deal with possible glare or different lighting. When the short piece is folded under, it makes a good shallow angle for holding on your lap. It does NOT, however, stand on its own in portrait mode, but I generally use the iPad in landscape mode because I like the wider keyboard.
I wanted a bright color, since most accessories are black and it's easy to leave those behind. A good, hot color is much harder to lose. I would have liked the notches that support the iPad at various angles to be a bit deeper or to lock the position of the iPad in some way, but within a day or two, I got used to it.
You need to put the iPad in properly, so that the sliding switches are not blocked or engaged--I put those under the elastic bands, which solves that issue.
The bands themselves are very tight now, and a little hard to get around the corners of the iPad. I think this case would protect the corners of the iPad if dropped, but I'm not about to test it.
The imitation leather is nice looking, I don't have to worry about damaging it by putting a coffee cup or something on it. Wipes clean. My husband doesn't think the red is "masculine," but he agrees, it's easy to find. The green seems too girly to him, too. Maybe there will be more choices in the future.
There is an elastic band running the width of the back of the case. This is to hang the iPad on the headrest of a car seat, so the people (kids!) in back can watch a movie. You can also use this strap as a hand strap to hold the iPad, but only when the iPad is in the portrait mode.
What would improve this case? First, at least a flat pocket inside or out for a few busines cards or to hold the little microfiber cloth that comes with the iPad to clean the screen. If it were 9x12 inches, it could hold the iPad as well as some sheets of paper. I'd like it to have a loop to hold a pen or a touchscreen stylus. The elastic bands that hold the iPad in are hard to handle; I worry if they will stretch out over time, but at this price, can't complain. I would be easier to use corner straps that snap or Velcro into place. You still need a way or place to carry the charging cord; wish that were build in, because I frequently forget the cord. Finally, a way to stand it up in portrait mode for reading a newspaper would be great.
We do NOT charge the iPad while in the case, to avoid overheating. But the case does a great job of insulating my lap from the heat of the iPad.
Remember, you would also need some way to carry this about. It's certainly easy to slip into a small briefcase or a medium-sized purse or tote. BUT, you also have to carry the charger, the accessories (such as the adaptor for USB or your camera. I have learned over the years, Apples of any sort need/want a lot of toys. I have drawers full of those.
To sum up, great for price, pretty easy to use, meets the necessities--to protect the expensive electronics and give you different viewing angles--and is easy to wipe off. You can buy two or more of these for the minimal cover Apple offers.

Summary : iPad Protector/Stand
This is a very functional case for the iPad. It feels good, looks good, and best of all, it secures the iPad while you can angle it to your needs. Go for it!!!!

Summary : Just what I needed
This was just what I needed for my iPad. It's protective, portable, and great looking. I like that I can adjust the angle to several angles, but it sometimes slips out of those positions. A little rubber-like edging would help keep it from slipping. Also, I would like to be able to prop it up when in vertical position, but that's not an option. Otherwise, I like it a lot. Recommended.
